Partnerships ☝️
Secured first commercial partnership with Supra Bazar:
We are extremely proud of our first commercial partnership with SupraBazar, one of the leading retail companies in Belgium that has been in business for over 55 years. The pilot implementation includes adding an innovative, intelligent sales and customer services channel that will be delivered to the client as a voice commerce solution, allowing customers to acquire goods and services using voice in the existing Supra Bazar’s digital channels to enhance sales and service quality using AI.

Oracle Partnership with Chainlink:
VAIOT has officially announced the use of Chainlink oracles to accelerate the development of its Intelligent Contracts! Chainlink is the market-leading decentralized oracle network in the space, and we are excited to finalize this deal and begin adopting their systems. We will be leveraging Chainlink’s Price Feed oracles for fiat-to-crypto exchange rates, ensuring our users receive fair market subsidies when they purchase AI assistant services. Additionally, our Intelligent Contracts will reference Chainlink Price Feeds to enable users to pay in various crypto and fiat currencies when accessing VAIOT services like fully-automated insurance contracts that leverage blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Some of the integrations we are currently exploring are price feeds for BTC/USD, ETH/USD, and GBP/USD. We will also be looking to sponsor the launch of a VAI/USD Price Feed for accurate conversions between VAI and USD among others to further expand VAIOT’s support for more cryptocurrency and fiat payment options.
For more information, see the full article here.
Chainlink also hosted us in an AMA to celebrate the launch of our partnership that can be found here.
Technical Partnership with ORAI:
VAIOT has made a commitment to being at the forefront of Blockchain and AI technology. That is why we were proud to announce our technical partnership with ORAIchain, the world’s first AI-powered oracle platform. They will provide their decentralized AI-powered oracle services for our AI virtual assistance. Oraichain aggregates and connects Artificial Intelligence APIs to smart contracts and will power VAIOT’s IVAs connecting off-chain data to the Blockchain via its data oracle platform enhanced by AI technology.
Oraichain will explore the implementation of VAIOT’s native token (VAI) as a staking or liquidity mining option on yAI.finance, Oraichain’s flagship DeFi platform using unique AI-based features and strategies. To further strengthen the partnership, VAIOT became a Genesis validator on the Oraichain Mainnet Launch on February 24th, making history as one of the first validators helping secure the Oraichain network.

Strategic Partnership with the PAID Network:
When it comes to the DeLa (Decentralized Law) space, VAIOT believes that those who travel together travel furthest. Our two disruptive powerhouses will join forces to redefine the legacy systems. PAID Network is an ecosystem DAPP that leverages blockchain technology to deliver DeFi powered SMART Agreements to make business exponentially more efficient. The creation of this Alliance will unite PAID Network and VAIOT in their mission to redefine how people do business with one another.

A special message from our Dev team 🙌
“Hello to all of our VAIOTeers! The dev team has been hard at work and are deep in the development stages of a BSC bridge that will come out very soon.”. — Jakub Kobeldys, Lead Developer
Yes, that’s right. Our devs have been hard at work developing the VAI BSC bridge! We understand that gas fees can be expensive, and integrating with BSC will allow us to run all our dApps we previously launched on Ethereum but will incur significantly less transaction fees. The team is still in discussion on how we will best utilize the bridge but we will be looking to apply its benefits to some of our existing programs once it’s completed.
